I saw one this morning, it gave me a little chuckle.

Starlink looks a lot like this when new satellites are moving into their final orbit, basically a string of dots slowly moving across the sky. I happened to see some last winter; it was pretty trippy to watch.

Respectfully, what on Earth are you talking about? OP has only indicated that they're trying to be health-conscious by maintaining proper hydration - the weird "societal pressure" angle is being superimposed by you. As I alluded to in my previous comment, it's easy to ignore mild dehydration and sometimes a conscious effort is needed to maintain optimal intake. "Drink when you're thirsty" is fine in a vacuum, but to distill (no pun intended) hydration advice down to just that is to ignore how people work in real life.

I don't know why you're bringing up hyponatremia. Water toxicity is exceedingly rare and one would need to consume an inordinate amount of water in short time before it becomes "unsafe." You're unnecessarily fearmongering and pushing misinformation when you don't know what you're talking about.

Also, there's no "water-pushing" conspiracy at play here. It's just a reality that most people don't consume as much water as they ideally should, and as a result people sometimes draw attention to that reality as a means of improving the general health of society.

OP, please don't listen to this person. Most of this is terrible advice.

To start, it's still advisable to drink water through the day even if you're getting some from your food intake. A typical diet will provide around 20% of the recommended daily amount - the rest needs to come from actual fluid intake. Even with a diet with a high proportion of fruits and vegetables, it doesn't come close to meeting the ideal amount.

Coffee and beer are not the same as the equivalent amount of pure water. Caffeine and ethanol both function as diuretics - that is, they promote urine production which in turn reduces your overall hydration. Ethanol is worse in this category to the extent that alcoholic drinks can actually dehydrate you. Caffeine has a more mild effect and is overall hydrating, but a cup of coffee still isn't equivalent to a cup of water.

Citrus fruits do help prevent kidney stone formation, but it's primarily via a different mechanism involving the citrate found in those fruits/juices rather than the acidity itself. Not that this matters too much in practice, but I point this out due to the inclusion of "other acidic beverages" as an alternative.

Chronic mild dehydration (generally) won't kill you, but it will prevent your body from functioning at its best and can potentially cause issues with electrolyte imbalances, blood pH, and plenty else. You should aim to stay optimally hydrated as much as possible for the benefit of your overall health.

"Drink when you're thirsty" is the one solid piece of advice here. Your body has evolved cues like this over hundreds of millions in order to get you to take good care of it, and its best to listen to them as much as possible. That said: these cues only works when you're cognizant of them, and it's still important to be actively mindful and intermittently remind yourself to follow them, especially when you're involved in tasks that would otherwise distract you from them.

I just want to add that apart from time dilation, velocity also causes length contraction wherein an object will be measured as shorter when it's moving relative to the observer versus from its own rest frame. I've always found it (and time dilation) to be very unintuitive to reason about with my monkey brain - relativity in general is just super weird.

NASA actually created an animation simulating what it would look like to fall into a black hole. In short, you'd see the outside universe warped into a circle directly opposite the direction of the singularity, with black all around it. This is ignoring the accretion disk that the other commenter pointed out, although that sits well outside the event horizon and I'm not sure off the top of my head how much of that light escapes inwards towards the black hole versus outwards.

Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken, but Narcan (naloxone) is not used for overdoses on non-opiod drugs like meth or LSD. As other commenters have pointed out it specifically binds to opioid receptors, so it's not going to be useful for a drug that operates via a different primary mechanism. The same goes for THC, which binds to cannabinoid receptors instead. Frankly, I would expect a medical professional to just know this.

The closest thing I can think of is @author unascribed sometimes seen in Javadoc comments, but I don't think that's used in quite the same way as what you're asking.

You should verbally indicate that you don't wish to answer questions rather than staying totally silent. That said, there are circumstances where cooperating can make your life easier if you're able to easily and clearly dispel the officer's suspicion, though this is highly dependent on situation and the specific cop you're dealing with. If you are doing something wrong the best thing is always to stfu.

According to the link you provided, every US state has implied consent laws which trigger an automatic DL suspension if you refuse a breathalyzer.

There was a native Linux build up until 2019. I also wouldn't really class Rust as an FPS, but that's beside the point.

That .01% number is out of line with the overall share of Steam users in 2018 by literally an order of magnitude. I can understand some deviation within a particular game, but that figure is so far off that I kind of suspect he just made it up on the spot.
